"The Maple Leafs will look to keep the momentum going vs. the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. The Maple Leafs beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-2 on Saturday night. For the Leafs, it was their first regulation win since November 5th. It was a game where the Leafs finally looked dominant and controlled the pace of the game. Leafs vs. Panthers The Florida Panthers are looking to turn the tide and snap their two-game losing streak. They have lost three of their last four games."
"This season has been a different story for both sides, with both teams dealing with major injuries. On the Panthers' side. They have been without their leaders, Alexander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. The Maple Leafs have had no shortage of injury trouble of their own this season, with superstar forwards Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies both missing time. They are currently without shutdown defenders Chris Tanev and Brandon Carlo."
"Nick Robertson, who was on the first line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, moves down to the fourth line. Robertson scored in their win against the Penguins, Saturday night. Max Domi will be taking Robertson's spot on the first line. The Toronto native has played some of his best games this season on the first line alongside Matthews and Knies. Domi has struggled this season, being a healthy scratch against the Washington Capitals two games back."
Toronto earned a 7-2 victory over Pittsburgh, its first regulation win since November 5, demonstrating dominant control. Florida is attempting to halt a two-game skid after losing three of four. Both franchises have playoff and divisional history, including a deciding Game 7 last season won by Florida. Injuries have sidelined key players for each team: Florida without Alexander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk, Toronto with absences including Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies, Chris Tanev and Brandon Carlo. Both teams sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference but remain four points from a divisional spot. Toronto adjusted its lines, moving Nick Robertson to the fourth line and promoting Max Domi to the top unit.
